Arrrrrr:) Thats the problem:)

I'll try to make easier for you in the future:)

Spin doc IF you are at that end of the pool you have company.
I consider this subject one that will always bring heat but am on the opposite side of it than you.
Not moving and prepared to be judged on my views but not to wade too close your fan.

Hey, 'denier' 'skeptic' 'contrarian zombie', whatever, the point was that they are just labels and not necessarily accurate. As I am sure you would not describe yourself as a contrarian zombie either. I am sorry that you are so precious about names.

Anyone who accepts the prevailing scientific opinion on climate change gets called an 'alarmist' all the time. I am not particularly alarmed, so I prefer to call myself a 'concernist'. But it does not matter, it's just a name, not necessarily accurate, but then there's heaps of people who don't like their nicknames.

The "other perspectives" are of course yours, and many of the 'skeptics', however politically they are being listened to but often pretend that they are not and tell their fellow members that they aren't as well. However in scientific circles they actually aren't being listened to because the evidence does not support their position but they don't accept that

Looks like Deep-Blue and Belly have taken the “Walk Away Package”. Sorry about that Bugsy.

Deep-Blue and Belly will have to walk away from this thread knowing that not only did they fail to have any answers but they didn’t even try. The YAWN from DB pretty well summed them both up, a final superior sneer at that which is beneath them and cannot handle.

I did mean what I said about you being courageous. I think you have stood by your beliefs and I truly admire that.

I didn’t really expect you to have any answers and I can see you have carefully avoided them in your last post. We will likely never agree and that’s fine. I’ve enjoyed the challenge. If you have more to say I promise to remove my previous confrontation and accord you the respect you have earned. So if you do have any answers I promise to discuss them with you more politely.

Thank you.

Answers to what exactly? Anyone can accuse someone else of not having answers, when they themselves have badly worded the question.

Bluntly put, my position that an acceptance of AGW theory does not comprise any sort of 'cult' activity, and believe the suggestion that it does to be bloody insulting. I see you haven't backed away from that, therefore we have nothing more to discuss.

If that in your mind constitutes some sort of a 'walk away package', then so be it, you win. Now you can feel all warm and fuzzy and I can spend my mental energies elsewhere, so in effect we all win.
